Thanks.. Like I said, I had done all those steps already (cvsup'd the latest, built world, built and installed kernel), now I am on the step of merging my files in /etc (like sendmail.cf and rc.conf, etc).. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to things that were ABSOLUTELY necessary for 4.1-STABLE to work.. Otherwise, I will reboot my box now and hope for the best :)..
